This year, BuildaBridge International will return for a second year to collaborate with local artists in Pablo, Montana working with the Salish and Kootenai confederated tribes. In addition, we will be adding a second week on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. On these reservations, visiting and local artists will collaborate to teach and encourage hope and healing with children and youth in communities that have experienced high rates of suicide, poverty, and drug and alcohol abuse. A certification in art therapy is desired but not required.
· Northern Cheyenne: July 31th - August 6th
· Flathead: August 8th- August 13th
Diaspora of Hope Arts Camp:
A standard curriculum teaches about the will-power and way-power of hope through creative art-making in visual, drama, music, dance and other art forms. Pre-trip orientation is required, with on-line training options.
BuildaBridge is a non-profit arts education and intervention organization that engages the transformative power of the arts to bring hope and healing to children, families, and communities in the tough places of the world. BuildaBridge motivates, enlists, trains, and connects those with artistic gifts with those in greatest need. BuildaBridge's mission is twofold:
Bring hope and healing through the arts and Engage artists in service to others.
1. Build healthy and mentoring relationships with children and youth
2. Teach creative arts as a method for engaging children and youth in healthy, creative play and learning
3. Recognize the worth and gifting of each child and speak encouragement about these gifts for their future
4. Look for teachable moments by listening and observing
5. Use art as a metaphor in teaching lessons of wisdom, correction, and life skills
6. Go beyond arts teaching to meet the needs of the whole child through other resources
